This is a very attractive water bottle, but in functionality it's a bit finicky. I've had difficulty with it leaking in my bag (there is a lock on it, but it seems to come open fairly easily - also it a crack developed in this area very quickly). I've also had issues with it staying standing once it's less than half full. I would recommend the simpler Aura version, it's less money and easier to use.

I've ordered this waterbottle twice, because I lost my first one. Unfortunately the second one I ordered a year later did not close properly and leaked. I filed a complaint with Amazon and had a new one THE NEXT DAY! The replacement works as great as my first one.

Pros:1. you don't have to touch the mouthpiece with your hand to open it2. the lid is attached3. spill proof4. you dont need to constantly twist the cap on and off (carpal tunnel?)5. BPA-free from an environmentally responsible company6. never cracked after a year of constantly dropping it.

Con:1. On a few occasion, I've been a dummy and forgot to close it fully before putting it in my bag and soaked everything. That's the only problem I've ever had and it was really my own fault.

I broke mine after just one week of using. The bottle was empty and the top was open, I accidentally slapped the bottle while grabbing it. It flew on the floor and broke at the joint of the lid (hinge). I also received one for Christmas last year and it cracked at the same place. So I am disappointed because I loved the design and the manner in which it can be carried (ergonomics).

All in all, I'm happy with this purchase. It hasn't leaked in my bag, and I haven't had the issues that some others have commented about.

It didn't get 5 stars because of two things:

First, I don't understand the design of the lid. You can lift up part of it to drink or your can screw it off (which means you don't have to undo the lock). I find screwing it off much more convenient and don't understand the need for the other option.

Second, I had to buy a bottle cleaner scrubbing-thing in order to clean the inside. I usually put lemon in my water and feel the need to wash inside but the opening is too narrow for a regular scrubber. Just inconvenient.

I had the bottle for two weeks and a crack developed around the water opening, started leaking whenever I drank from it, tried doing a warranty return that was denied; apparently you have to be very careful with this water bottle because the plastic is very brittle and any bit of stress on the cap will cause the thing to start cracking. TAKE A PASS ON THIS ONE UNLESS YOU ARE EXTREMELY DELICATE WITH YOUR WATER BOTTLES

I would give it more than one star if the warranty had a little more leeway, who the heck makes a plastic water bottle this brittle anyway!
